Nature 2 (A Burst of Color)

A cathedral of inked foliage closes in from both sides, its obsessive linework turning abundance into a hush, while a pale vertical corridor of air and water opens like a held breath through the center. Against this monochrome density, the small, jewel-bright birds read as sudden thoughts—fleeting, irrepressible—puncturing the silence with color and suggestion of song. The precarious cairn in the foreground becomes a quiet act of balance and faith, a human measure set against nature’s vast patterning, as if harmony here is something continuously built, moment by moment, in the space between wilderness and sky.
